WHO I AM
I have been working in the electronic security industry for over 27 years and in this time I have had the opportunity to work on some amazing projects, meet some awesome people and gain a wealth of technical knowledge.
I have now made the switch from electronic security installations to custom projects both software and hardware related. My flagship product is "BreeCS - Construction Site Software" which can be found at https://BreeCS.com
I design and develop bespoke software and hardware for the electronic security industry using an array of different technologies. Should you require a custom integration please feel free to browse my products and get in touch.
